《Binary Progression》Volume 4 - Chapter 40: Brainstorming time
Advertisement
"Thinking positively, you're back!" John exclaimed walking along the muddy road leading out of Mournwood and breaking the silence.
"..." Foxly didn't reply, he held the phone-encased Magnus in his pocket, he hasn't said much since he was resurrected.
"Ah, quit being a baby already! You're alive!" Crown exclaimed patting him on the back, it was completely cold.
"NO I'M NOT! I'M UNDEAD!" Foxly cried.
"I won't be able to eat or sleep or get drunk... I'll smell of rotting frogs..." he said frantically sniffing his arms.
"OH GREAT! I CAN'T SMELL ANYTHING EITHER!"
"It's because you don't smell like anything..." Crown replied exhaustedly.
John let out a sigh.
"Dude... those are some very hurtful stereotypes, you can still taste, smell, see, hear and feel everything, you just can't get drunk," John shrugged.
"Look, don't take it personally, but I think I'd rather just be dead in Lorb's isekai room!" Foxly wallowed.
"Oh, you'll get over it! You're harder to kill! And you feel less pain!" John exclaimed giving him a thumbs up.
"Do you guys think we should call Bonifacius and the rest?" asked Crown.
"I dunno, I think we shouldn't spoil the surprise!" John exclaimed.
"I do kind of want to see their faces..." Foxly agreed.
"Still, at least tell him to come over to the jGuardian base, don't be that cruel..." Crown said looking at John.
"Alright, alright..." John relented.
John turned to face Foxly.
"Oh, yeah! I heard you're good at business!" John said expecting some sort of confirmation.
"Yeah, I don't like to brag but I was the second richest person on the server for a year straight," Foxly replied smugly remembering his massive mountain villa with a golden pool and a personal portal-room that would let him teleport to any zone in the game.

John nodded.
"Well, like I told you earlier, we kind of work for... or rather with the jGuardians..."
"And, you see... we have Pedecree making a drink to sell as a jGuardian PR stunt..." John began.
"And you want me to market and sell it?" asked Foxly.
"Exactly!" John exclaimed.
"Well... we don't have any large civilizations yet..." he scratched his chin. Since he was cold from top to bottom, he didn' notice the inhuman temperature of his body.
"Hmmm, sure, I'm down for a challenge!" he replied excitedly as if he completely forgot he's undead.
"We'll get Pedecree to drive around in a cart and sell them!" Foxly exclaimed.
"Cool!" John exclaimed.
"And we'll need a mascot!" Foxly exclaimed, his eyes wondering towards Crown before she shot him a dirty look.
"Don't even think about it..." she hissed.
"Come on! Cuteness sells! And you're a frog-person!"
"Foxly, I'm about to send you back to Lorb..."
"O-ok... n-noted..." he relented, though secretly he hasn't completely given up yet.
As soon as they left Mournwood they were met with a rather bored looking-thief.
"Who's that?" she asked looking at Foxly.
"This is undead-Foxly," Crown replied.
The thief looked over to John who nodded in confirmation.
"I should have seen something like this coming..." she remarked.
"Alright, ready to get back?" she asked.
"Sure!" she grabbed onto John and Crown, Foxly grabbed onto Crown's hand.
They immediately appeared in the jGuardan base.
"Finally back!" John exclaimed.
"Yeah..." the Thief agreed before stretching.
Crown let out a yawn.
"Alright, well - I'm going to go check out Pedecree's boxed food..." she said turning to leave.
JohnWillStab turned to the Thief.
"Thanks for the lift!" he exclaimed.

"Any time!" she replied before disappearing with a puff of smoke, leaving behind a white rabbit on the floor.
"I'll go tell Curstl!" John exclaimed not looking to Foxly before leaving the room.
Meanwhile, the room was empty.
Foxly was still standing outside Mournwood, sad and alone.
But not surprised.
"Guys?" he asked looking around awkwardly.
"I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE GRABBED ONTO THE PERSON WITH THE TELEPORTATION SKILL!" Foxly exclaimed biting down on his lower lip.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out the Nok*a, the screen was cracked.
He let out a sigh and began walking back to where John said the jGuardian base was.
Meanwhile...
Bonifacius sat on one of the steps leading down into the pit filled with trolls, he was eating his boxed lunch, an egg-salad sandwich with a side of some of those big yellow-orange fruits John introduced to Levelgreen.
They were called Sunfruits, but many people chose to call them "Obese-Mangos" instead.
Suddenly he got a call from JohnWillStab.
"Hey, Bonifacius!" he exclaimed.
"Oh! JohnWillStab! How are thou doing?" he asked, despite his happy tone, John could feel the sombre note in his words.
"We... ehh... found something important and need to to get back to the jGuardian base ASAP!" John exclaimed.
"Man, I feel guilty for lying to Bonifacius... but it'll be worth it!" John thought.
"I see... in that case I shall make haste..." Bonifacius grabbed his gear and began making his way out.
"Also, make sure to tell Pedecree and Bromy to come back too!" John added.
"Right..." Bonifacius agreed, he was deeply worried by what was so urgent, "Perhaps they found Foxly and wish to offer a funeral?... Yes... that would explain why John is avoiding the details of the situation..." Bonifacius sighed.
Back at the jGuardian base...
JohnWillStab returned to the room and realised Foxly was very much missing.
"Foxly?" John called out.
After looking all over the place for a few minutes he used the friends-menu to contact Foxly.
"Hey, where did you go?" asked John.
"I'M STILL OUTSIDE MOURNWOOD!" Foxly called out from the other side.
He kept walking, slowly seeing the tiny spot in the distance that unbeknownst to him was the jGuradian base.
"Woah! Sorry!" John exclaimed.
Foxly breathed a sigh.
"It's alright, I'll just walk, after all, I have infinite stamina now..." replied Foxly.
"Sorry, man! The Thief disappeared so I won't able to pick you up until it gets dark!" John exclaimed.
"Nah, don't worry about it, I'll take this time to brainstorm something for the drink-business you wanted to to take care of," Foxly replied.
"Alright, I'll be waiting outside the road to the jGuardian base, it's easy to go too far and then you'd have to take the cliff-side road!" John laughed.
"Right!"
